I like working with all sorts of different types of people, as I learn from perspectives different than my own in ways I wasn't expecting to learn, and I find that enjoyable. I think some men reject the idea of women as competent, or m

You were a masters student, and an undergrad presumably in a field that may have lent itself to CS, so you had fellow students, and maybe even undergrads you taught or did research with. Are there local firms nearby with alumnus from your

You can remap the capslock key to escape. Or do what I do, have capslock be ctrl when combined with a non modifier key, and escape otherwise. I enter normal mode with my pinky.

You don't need crazy frameworks in any language. However I think about the things different frameworks give me. Generation of database migrations and other standard elements, an ORM and/or query DSL so my SQL code can be more DR

PPC is pay per click, which is more likely to create confusion in a web dev context. PCP is less widely used in a software engineering and web developer context (one hopes anyway), but probably not something you want to be searching for fr

I think what isn't being mentioned is that sometimes the company changes beneath your feet. Apps get sold and teams get aquihired, friends get let go or leave, roles get redefined; company priorities shift.

Probably because allocating a thread to every request is less efficient then a bunch of event loops with async. Ideally you do both, but a lot of languages choose to make concurrency something done at the process level and are event driven

When I was starting out, Doing well in the Google interview process was a nice confidence booster.

From what I've heard, google intentionally screws with timing, who you will be speaking to, and other factors in order to try to understand how you deal with changes in circumstances.

Skilled trades like plumber come to mind. There are millionaire plumbers. Car dealerships and real estate/ property management are also paths to success for many. Many jobs require some certification or education, but it's less t

We need to stop finding lost diamonds and start giving poor people in general more opportunities. People talk about rising tides lifting all boats, but ties flow in at the bottom and lifts things higher.

I think (and I'm not an expert on conservative thoughts on BLM, and to be clear, I don't believe this at all myself) it's that there is no racial disparity in police shootings, whites get killed just as often as blacks, Black

So basically you have a market place but few or no customers to pay you, or your suppliers? Organic SEO is fine, if it's happening, but if it's not, you need to make it happen. If you have demand customers, reach out to a sample

Non profits vary widely enough that you see places that can only take volunteer developer time and maybe provide some sort of tax benefit, maybe not, and places that pay something approaching market rate. What's important is that you f
